LOL, salem, there's a modicum of truth in all my stories. For example:

I feared my wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and I thought she might need a hearing aid.

Not quite sure how to approach her, I called the family doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told me there is a simple informal test I could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

That evening, my wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and I was in my den. So I say to myself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens."

So in a normal tone I ask, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response..

So I move closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from my wife and repeat, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next I move into the dining room where I'm about 20 feet from my wife and ask, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again no response.

So, I walk up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away.. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again there is no response.

So I walk right up behind her... "Honey, what's for dinner?"

(You'll just love this)

"TexasT, for THE FIFTH time, CHICKEN."
